Before & After

This is what our milk cow, Millie, looked like when we first got her. She was very skinny and she had a hard time walking. The dairy down in the valley was selling her cause she had hoof rot and she wasn't getting better. 

Here is Millie after a few months of love and care. Her foot is totally better and she is fat and healthy. We love the gallons of creamy milk we get from her every day. We used to milk her morning and evening, but now we only milk her in the morning. She gives around 2 1/2 - 3 gallons a day.

This is our sweet little calf that we got to raise off of Millie's milk. 

This is him today, all big and fat. Looks like we are going to enjoy some good beef someday soon! It will be sad to see him go. You kinda get attached to them. 

We have really been enjoying monsoons!! We have been pasturing the cows out so they can enjoy it too! :))

Fruit & Veggies

We recently picked all our peaches. 

Lots of yummy, juicy peaches!!

 canning them...

All finished!! Canning can be a big, messy job! :)

Making the filling for peach pies. Peach pies are one of my favorites! :)

We like this peachie pie too! :)

Jubilee's new thing is books. She gets her book and brings it too you begging for you to look at it with her. :) She is already making some of the animal sounds. 

Isn't she sweet?! :)

Ok, sorry got a bit distracted there. :/ Back to veggies... 

I've been getting up early before going to work and helping Mom pick the green beans. We have been getting a lot of them!!

Soy beans..

There's nothing like fresh corn on the cob! :)

We planted open pollinated corn this year, so the ears are small, but still very sweet!! :)

Can you see who's hiding in the corn patch? :)

The boys husking the ears.

Lots-and-lots of green beans!! Jubilee is chewing on a potato, staying very healthy! :)

Lots of onions!!

*Cheese*

New baby chicks...

Sorry, I don't feel like this post is very interesting. Just kinda thrown together, but gives you a little idea of what we been staying busy with. :)
